Building Regs Guarding & load compliant Skilled Trade experience Free Site survey & written quote 01 — Overview ## What steel balconies actually is — and when to commission it. ### What it is A steel balcony is an external steel platform — either a walk-on balcony carried on cantilevered brackets or supporting posts, or a non-walk-on Juliet balcony that guards a full-height opening. Both types are fabricated from welded steel with a compliant guarding. ### Who it's for Homeowners in Swindon adding a first-floor bedroom balcony or a rear master-suite balcony, developers converting first-floor windows into Juliet balconies for aesthetic and Building Regs reasons, and architects specifying balconies for new-builds and extensions. ### When it's needed When you convert a window to a full-height door and need to guard the opening (Juliet), when you add a walk-out balcony as part of an extension or renovation, or when an existing balcony has reached the end of its safe life. ### Why professional help matters Balconies are guarded structures at height with a specified load rating. The guarding, the frame and the fixings back into the structure must all be right. Cutting corners on a balcony is a public-liability disaster in slow motion. 02 — What happens if you get it wrong ## The four failures we see when steel balconies is done cheaply. ### Guarding that fails Building Regs Wrong height, wrong infill spacing, or infill a child can climb — all are non-compliant and dangerous. ### Fixings pulled from soft masonry Cantilevered balconies pulling out of old brick because the structural anchor was undersized is a fixable design problem — until it isn't. ### Rust bleed on white render External steel that isn't primed and topcoated correctly weeps rust down the elevation within two winters. It's expensive to fix twice. ### Non-matching aesthetic Off-the-shelf Juliet balconies rarely match the character of a period property. A bespoke steel balcony can be built in a traditional wrought-iron style to match — or in a clean, modern architectural style — to match the building it's fixed to. 03 — Our process ## From first call to signed-off installation. 1. Step 1 ### Free site survey We measure the opening, review the elevation, and confirm the structural substrate for the fixings. 2. Step 2 ### Design & written quote You get a drawing, a specification (style, infill, finish) and a written quote with the guarantee stated. 3. Step 3 ### Workshop fabrication welds ground back, finish applied — typically two-pack primer and topcoat, or galvanised and painted. 4. Step 4 ### Installation Delivered and installed by our own team, structurally fixed to the substrate with correctly rated anchors, and levelled precisely. 5. Step 5 ### Sign-off & written guarantee We check plumb, level and finish with you, and hand over the written guarantee on fabrication and installation.

This is the technical detail that separates a fabricator from a supplier. Read it, or skim the headings — either way, it's what you're paying for. ### Balcony types Juliet balconies (non-walk-on, guarding a full-height opening — the most common upgrade when a window is converted to French doors); cantilevered walk-on balconies fixed via brackets back to the structure; post-supported walk-on balconies carried on external columns; and full-elevation balconies spanning multiple openings on new-builds. ### Guarding & infill options Vertical steel balusters (the classic traditional look), horizontal steel bars where compliance allows, powder-coated flat bar, cast panels for period style, stainless-steel wire tensioned within a steel frame, and steel-framed glass panels via a trade partner. Infill selection affects appearance, view and cost. ### Styles we fabricate Traditional wrought-iron style with scrolls and cast collars for period and listed properties; classic Georgian-style plain balusters with a moulded handrail; modern architectural with clean flat bar and minimal detailing; industrial with visible weld and raw-steel aesthetic; and matching-to-existing where a house already has a distinctive metalwork signature. ### Fixings & structural context Cantilevered balconies transfer significant load into the structure — fixings are selected for the actual substrate (solid brick, blockwork with structural padstone, concrete or steel frame) and are typically resin-anchored or through-bolted. Where the substrate is not strong enough, we specify post support and design the balcony accordingly. ### Finish options We specify the appropriate primer and top-coat system for external residential balconies, and a galvanised base where maximum service life is needed — especially on exposed or coastal-adjacent sites. 06 — FAQ ## Straight answers to the questions we're asked most.
